Kings Island is a 364-acre (147 ha) amusement park located in Mason, Ohio. The park is known for releasing record-breaking and first-of-a-kind rides over the years, such as Flight of Fear, the world's first launched roller coaster using a linear induction motor, and The Beast which opened as the world's tallest, fastest, and longest wooden roller coaster in 1979. [1] [2] The Beast still retains the length record and continues to be highly-ranked in the annual Golden Ticket Awards from Amusement Today . [3] With the addition of Mystic Timbers in 2017, Kings Island claimed the world record for having the most wooden roller coaster track in a single amusement park, and it tied the record for most wooden roller coasters, raising the park's total to five.

Contents

Kings Island added a 12-acre (4.9 ha) water park called WaterWorks in 1989, constructed near White Water Canyon. [1] The area featured 15 water slides, a lazy river, and a children's play area. [1] [4] After multiple expansions and name changes, the park was eventually renamed Soak City. [1]

For safety reasons, Kings Island publishes a ride rating system that classifies the attractions one through five based on the intensity of the ride, with one representing the calmest rides to five indicating the most aggressive. [5]

Mondo Monsoon in Soak City

Soak City opened in 1989 as WaterWorks, 17 years after Kings Island opened. [1] In 1997, Kings Island expanded the water park to 15 acres (6.1 ha) by adding the wave pool (Surfside Bay; now known as Breakers Bay), and a new children's water playground. [1] The following year, the FlowRider, and Pipeline Paradise opened as Wipeout Beach. [1] Six years later, WaterWorks was renamed to Crocodile Dundee's Boomerang Bay Waterpark (later simplified to Boomerang Bay Waterpark). In 2012, the water park was re-branded to Cedar Fair's Soak City. All of the water slides and the lazy river were refurbished. An additional wave pool was also constructed. [1] [79]
